Neutral Gray

#b6bfc1

Neutral Gray is a light, cool gray with a faint blue-green chill, like overcast sky or polished zinc. It appears in 12 combinations, often as a calm foil for brighter colors. Eosine Pink makes it soft and modern, Carmine Red gives a crisp red-and-gray graphic look, and Black turns it into a sharp, monochrome scheme. At about 1.9:1 on white it is not a text color there, but black type on it reads at around 11:1. Use it for kitchen cabinetry, workwear and calm page backgrounds.
